New work yet untitled

2013, oil on canvas, 12 x 12 inches

I've returned to the studio after a few weeks' hiatus. As mentioned in previous posts, I'd been working on new concepts. I've switched back to oil on canvas but with a few new twists: the canvas is stretched over panel; I'm using clear gesso and I'm delighted with the effect; the work is more process-oriented than anything I've done before (more on that soon); I'm exploring painting's object-ness, its materiality and physicality, while continuing my concerns with structure, texture and imperfection.
